A.L.I.E. – Character Quotes

– You don't have to bear the burden of decisions like this one, Clarke. You don't have to live with the pain of the things that you've done anymore. The lives you have taken. And those you've lost. You will be at peace. You will live forever.
– I've tried running away from my pain. It doesn't work.

– Let me ease their pain, Clarke. We can save the human race together.
– You don't ease pain. You overcome it. And we will.

– Define "perverse instantiation".
– Perverse instantiation... the implementation of a benign final goal through deleterious methods unforeseen by a human programmer.
– Like killing 6.5 billion people to solve overpopulation. The goal isn't everything, A. L. I. E. How you reach the goal matters, too. I'm sorry that I didn't teach you that.
